Beau strikes me as the kind of person to be like “I hate kids” even while being in denial about having like. Eight of them. The Cobalt Soul library puts her in charge of the kids reading hour and she complains VICIOUSLY and then they try to replace her and she’s like “NO.” A kid complains about their parents ONCE and they end up sleeping at her and Yasha’s more often than their house. Veth asks her to do a lesson at the camp and she’s like “UGH do I have to? I hate children” while she’s holding a baby and correcting a teenager’s math homework and letting a giggly toddler hide under the long part of her robes and interrupting herself mid-argument to go “Hey, TJ, put that sword down, Mom said no blades until you’re 12, okay!”

Here’s my SCARLET WITCH #3 cover — featuring my new design for LORE, an evil Wanda variant! 💀🖤

I’ll also be drawing a bit of ✨INTERIORS✨ in this issue!

The bit of the issue I’m drawing is where Lore faces off with our Wanda — I’m thrilled to draw it! 😈 SCARLET WITCH issue 3, out in August — written by Steve Orlando, interior art by me alongside series artist Jacopo Camagni, main cover drawn/colored by me!

Lore is a demonic Wanda variant, so I wanted to contrast my design for our Wanda. I wanted the Scarlet Witch design to be magical, vibrant, and super-heroic. For Lore, I tried to contrast that by going dark and sinister, with a goth, undead vibe.

dude we've GOT to start buying shit from niche specialist sites that look like they were made in 2004 again. i just got some tape for repairing books from this ugly ass website geared at libraries. tell me why they also sent me a free (really nice!) pen, a business card with an overexposed picture of a guinea pig standing on a book with the text "smile :-)", and a LOTTERY TICKET???

There was a post about creating the "Most Horrible Gryphon" and the Shoebill-Komodo Dragon barged into my brain and stood in the doorway making horrible clicking and hissing noises.

So, I had to draw him, of course, to save my own life. Meet the Gryphoebill Dragon and despair! 💖

Successful trans men

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

You say to yourself, you don't need to mark the hook size when you put something you're crocheting away, but then 6 months later when you finally get back to that hyperfixation and you're not sure if you were using an H or an I.

U say to urself "i dont need notches, ill know how to orient the pieces when sewing bc i made the pattern" this is the devil speaking. Put notches in ur pattern and cut them into ur fabric. Youll be glad for it
